How the payment is calculated
Total RVU is work plus practice expense plus malpractice, each adjusted by its GPCI factor, then multiplied by the conversion factor. For 61613 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (43.9 + 33.63 + 18.54) × $33.4009 ≈ $3,208.82. The same code in a facility setting pays about $3,208.82 because facility PE RVU (33.63) replaces office PE RVU.
